Environment in Corporate Management

Jean-Baptiste Lesourd, Research Professor, Groupe de Recherche en Economie Quantitative d’Aix-Marseille (GREQAM), Université de la Méditerranée and Université de Droit, d’Economie et des Sciences d’Aix-Marseille, France and Steven G.M.

'What is needed . . . is a cool, detached look at environmental and social responsibility in the context of the firm . . . and which utilises the formidable insights that come from the dramatic developments in economics in the last few decades. This is why I welcome Jean-Baptiste Lesourd and Steven Schilizzi's book. It takes the viewpoint of the firm and brings it to bear on the various issues and the general findings of the theories of industrial organisation and microeconomics. This volume is not littered with maths and formal proofs, rather the intuition and results from that thinking have been turned into practical observation and recommendation.'
